I've had the mutual dependency problem before. There's an option for rpm
that will force the install without asking questions. Run it on one and the
other should fall in line with the regular command. I think it's -f? Check
man rpm to be sure.
I think it's: rpm -Uvhf <package>.i386.rpm
BTW, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're sure you have a mutual
dependency problem. Some errors from rpm are very illuminating and can save
you a lot of trouble. Use with care.
Good luck!

I should have known...I didn't think to simply combine the RPMs on one
command line. Thank you.
